My 5 fave face cleaners and masks !

#5 .
product imageThis is my all time favorite face mask . I use it every 2 weeks . You can use it more ,but in addition to my other skin products it is a little too drying . I love the minty smell and the clay type texture . I makes your skin feel so smooth after you use it . It does do everything it says it will do ! Best part .. it's is under $5.00 and lasts a long time !

#4.
Noxzema - Triple Clean Anti-Blemish Pads - 90 eaI love these pads and usually use them when I get out of the shower or at night before bed . Im not a huge fan of the smell ( witch hazel I think ) ,but overall I love the prduct . It is very drying so an oil-free mosturizer is a must . It has a tingling feeling when you use it as any astringent does , but it works !
#3.
Noxzema - Clean Moisture Deep Cleansing Cream - 8 fl ozI use this daily ! I love it . It is easy on my skin , smells awesome and it cleans so deep . I have a tendency to break out quite a bit during season changes and this is not harsh at all. It isn't drying . I have been using this for years and I can't say enough good things !
#2.
(not my pic ) That's right !! Good old lemon juice and sugar . After washing my face I wet with warm water . Take a cotton ball , cotton pad works too , and saturate it with lemon juice . I dip mine in a small bowl of sugar and scrub , scrub , scrub . Circular motions until you've done your whole face , lips too ! Wash off with warm water and pat dry . It leaves your skin feeling so smooth and soft . And did I mention how great it smells ? lol . I haven't been using this long enough to see any noticable difference in skin tone ,but I have noticed a change in my break outs !

#1 .


Johnson's Baby - Head-to-Toe Baby Wash, Original - 15 fl ozYes I know it isn't your typical face cleanser ,but don't knock it until you try it lol. I had to think , if I will use it on by baby then why not me ? This is with out a question my go to face wash . It is an incredible make-up remover . It even takes off mascara ! It doesn't dry out your skin . It smells great and it is moisturizing . I use this ever night to remove the left overs from the day lol. It doesnt irratate my skin . I love how gentle it is on the skin around my eyes . I would recommend using this as part of your daily routine !

 So that's it ! My fave 5 . Thanks for reading and please keep in mind that I have use a bunch of different products and these are just the ones that worked for me . I have combination / oily skin and my skin doesn't dry out as fast as other might . I am very happy to share what I know with you !!
